Take a look in the logs/dmesg and see if you get a kernel oops or page
fault or something of the sort (can't remember exactly). I had that
happen to me in a similar fashion (I wanted to copy stuff *to* the
slug), after a few k I'd get the error and nfs became a no-go until
reboot.

Suspecting unslung I went back to the Linksys firmware only two
discover thantupon the second samba connection and after transfering a
few dozen to hundred megs something even worse would happen, the entire
slug keeled over, not even reacting to the power button (sometimes I
could ping it, but that was it). Bottom line is I sent it in to have it
repaired/replaced.

... What stock linksys firmware did you go back to? It s just I m wondering whether the crashing is related to this bug that Linksys fixed in the 2.3 R29

What stock linksys firmware did you go back to? It's just I'm wondering
whether the crashing is related to this bug that Linksys fixed in the
2.3 R29 Firmware maybe? Probably not as you're reporting it crashing
after a few hundred megs (and it affecting NFS as-well as Samba) but
its perhaps worth considering.

"Firmware version 2.3 Release 29
1.) Fixed large file lockup issue caused by files larger than 1GB being
transfered across the network."

I went back to 2.3 Release 29, didn't help. Didn't expect it to, either:
I didn't transfer large files, just large amounts of data (couple
hundred mp3's).
